To anyone who actually thinks that Trump is a worthwhile human being, watch this video.

What a fucking disgrace.

Yeah, she does not let him get away with the usual tough-guy crap he pulls. He's so beyond full of shit, and she absolutely calls him on it again and again.

I guess he figured that since Murdoch owns the WSJ, they'd give him a soft-ball interview and suck on his cock like the idiots on Fox & Friends.

I really like Trump; it boggles my mind how bad some of you speak of him.

Trump himself has never been bankrupt and has a good business track record. Bankruptcy is a commonly used tool, especially in real estate. I'm not an expert on Trump, but I doubt he ever had any sort of personal guarantee on any real estate deals, so he himself would never go bankrupt even if a property became totally worthless.

The guy is a non-bullshit guy. He bluntly says the Iraq war is about oil, which while 100% true, no politician ever admits. I applaud him for that. For example that dipshit Romney would probably say "oh but it's about the FREEDOM!!!"...freedom my ass! You know how many non-oil rich countries need "freeing"? Why did we choose to "free" the most oil rich one of them all? Wake up people... This country needs a non-bullshitter; unlike Obama. The Republicans need a good salesman; Trump is the only one that comes close to Obama as far as that.

I think if Trump runs he will have a very good chance of winning.

Btw, OP, I don't see anything in the video that makes me (or any objective person), think that Trump is a "disgrace".

Can someone please give me some coherent, intelligent argument as to why Trump is a disgrace? All I ever hear bad about him on these forums is that he is a shameless self promoter (umm...it's called marketing...he's obviously good at it...try turning your last name into a top luxury brand) or that he is or was bankrupt (which again, is not true). I also think comparisons to Hilton, Kardashian, etc. are totally unwarranted; Trump actually became famous via his real estate dealings, not the other way around. So what is it...why is he a disgrace, troll, douchebag?????

So, in summation, i can only conclude that detractors of Trump are pretty braindead; at least if I'm going to diss on some candidate, I can back it up with facts. Can anyone actually provide me with facts for why Trump would be bad?

I agree with most of what you're saying, but how do you defend the Obama birther bullshit?

Where to begin on Trump, let's see, while he did not personally declare bankruptcy, two of his hotels did, pushing him personally to the brink of bankruptcy. He clearly has no understanding of foreign policy, for example, he said he would just take Iraq's oil without in any way explaining how he would do this. How would he do it, nationalize the oil industry in Iraq? An act which he would not have the power to do. He talks imposing tariffs, which is blatantly anti-free trade, and attempts to cover himself by saying he's pro-free trade as long as it's quote "fair", without realizing that with true free trade one side might come out ahead, he comes off sounding like a very confused protectionist.

The fact that he legitimately gives credence to the idea that Obama was not born in America further makes him sound insane. Yes Donald, Barack Obama ascended to the top level of the American government without actually being born in America, apparently conning people at every level of government into trusting a forged or non-existent birth certificate, because it's just that easy, no one every verifies that your birth certificate is real, or better yet, you are never asked for one.

He represents everything that is wrong with big-government conservatism, and would be a repeat of the Bush years. He supports further government intervention in our economy and social lives by re-introducing tariffs, disallowing gay marriage, attempting to repeal Roe v. Wade, and some sort of undisclosed plan to take all of Iraq's oil, all of which would be further encroachments of the government into our lives.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
